Andrew White will make an official visit to the Louisville campus this weekend.

White is a 6-foot-6 shooting guard.

"I am looking forward to it," White told The Courier-Journal. "I have been to Kansas and last weekend I went to West Virginia. I still have a long list of schools, I haven’t narrowed anything down yet on paper. But in my mind, I know what I am looking for."

White is ranked No. 51 in the class by ESPN.com, is No. 52 by Scout.com and No. 56 according to Rivals.com. He is also planning a visit to Texas.

"I kind of noticed I would really fit well into coach (Rick) Pitino’s system," White said after watching some U of L film and talking to Pitino and assistant coach Kevin Keatts. "I saw a lot on film, and some things that I have researched, and a lot of opportunities for shots because they can break people down and get into the lane."
